Abstract:
... The non-biting midge subfamily Tanypodinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) is species-rich, ecologically diverse, and near-globally distributed. Within the subfamily, aspects of generic and species-level taxonomy remain poorly understood, in particular the validity of assignment of Australian and New Zealand taxa to genera erected for northern hemisphere (Holarctic) fauna. Here, we place the austral diver ...

Abstract:
... Evolutionary biologists have long sought to disentangle phylogenetic relationships among taxa spanning the tree of life, an increasingly important task as anthropogenic influences accelerate population declines and species extinctions, particularly in insects. Phylogenetic analyses are commonly used to identify unique evolutionary lineages, to clarify taxonomic designations of the focal taxa, and ...

Abstract:
... The importance of morphology in the phylogenomic era has recently gained attention, but relatively few studies have combined both types of information when inferring phylogenetic relationships. Sanger sequencing legacy data can also be important for understanding evolutionary relationships. The possibility of combining genomic, morphological and Sanger data in one analysis seems compelling, permit ...

Abstract:
... Previous studies, have found that the rapid uplift of the Tibetan plateau accelerated the diversification of species. However, there are few relevant biogeographic data for the Colubridae in this region. We conducted a comprehensive study of the Rhabdophis nuchalis Group, which presently contains four nominal species, R. nuchalis, R. pentasupralabialis, R. leonardi, and R. chiwen. Building upon pr ...

Abstract:
... Polyploidy and hybridization are important processes in seed-free plant evolution. However, a major gap lies in our understanding of how these processes affect the evolutionary history of high-ploidy systems. The heterosporous lycophyte genus Isoëtes is a lineage with many putative hybrids and high-level polyploid taxa (ranging from tetraploid to dodecaploid). Here, we use a complex of western Nor ...

Abstract:
... Phylogenies of an increasing number of taxa have been resolved with the development of phylogenomics.

Abstract:
... Aciculata (Eunicida + Phyllodocida) is among the largest clades of annelids, comprising almost half of the known diversity of all marine annelids. Despite the group’s large size and biological importance, most phylogenomic studies on Annelida to date have had a limited sampling of this clade. The phylogenetic placement of many clades within Phyllodocida in particular has remained poorly understood ...

The papilionoid legume genus Ormosia (Fabaceae) comprises about 150 species of trees and exhibits a striking disjunct geographical distribution between the New World- and Asian and Australasian wet tropics and subtropics. Modern classifications of Ormosia are not grounded on a well-substantiated phylogenetic hypothesis and have been limited to just portions of the geographical range of the genus. ...

Abstract:
... Biotrophic plant parasites cause economically important diseases, e.g. downy mildew of grape, powdery mildew of legumes, wheat stripe rust, and wheat bunt. But also in natural ecosystems, these organisms are abundant and diverse, and for many hosts more than one specialised biotrophic pathogen is known. However, only a fraction of their diversity is thought to have been described. There is accumul ...

There is an extensive collection of literature on the taxonomy and phylogenetics of flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) that extends over two centuries, but consensus on many of their evolutionary relationships remains elusive. Phylogenetic uncertainty stems from highly divergent results derived from morphological and genetic characters, and between various molecular datasets. Deciphering relationships ...

Abstract:
... Coleoids are the most diverse group of cephalopod mollusks. While their origin is date during the Mesozoic, the diversification pattern is unknown. However, two hypotheses have been proposed. The first suggests an increasing diversification rate after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (K–Pg) as consequence of empty habitats left by the ammonites and belemnites. The second hypothesis propos ...

... The cell mouth is a property of the vast majority of free-living and endosymbiotic/epibiotic ciliates of the class Oligohymenophorea. Cytostome, however, naturally absents in the whole endosymbiotic subclass Astomatia and was naturally or experimentally lost in a few members of the subclass Hymenostomatia. This poses a question of how homoplastic might be the lack of oral structures in the oligohy ...

Abstract:
... Brood parasites (also known as cleptoparasites) represent a substantial fraction of global bee diversity. Rather than constructing their own nests, these species instead invade those of host bees to lay their eggs. Larvae then hatch and consume the food provisions intended for the host’s offspring. While this life history strategy has evolved numerous times across the phylogeny of bees, the oldest ...
